I wound up catching that scene last night when watching the tail end of a repeat and paid a bit more attention to it
I'm not so sure he didn't recognize the name as much as he kind of flippantly dismissed it until he had proof
No one supposedly knows Will was Hooded Justice, so Will is not going to offer anything up lightly, especially to someone he does not recognize
When he answered the door and the person said "...I am Jon Osterman...", Will's response wasn't "who" or "I don't know anyone by that name" etc...
His response was "Is that supposed to mean something to me?"
He could have dismissed this guy as being "the" Jon Osterman, or he could have been feigning some ignorance for purposes of keeping his identity secret until he knows for sure who he is talking to and what their purpose was for the visit.
After all, when he says he is Dr Manhattan, Will's first question is something like aren't you supposed to be blue or something. So he was clearly skeptical who he was talking to which is why he shuts the door
Also, I think Dr Manhattan may have transferred some of his power to Will...
There was that scene early in the season where Will was eating boiled eggs and he was reaching in the boiling water with seemingly no ill effect.
Then this past episode when talking to Angela after he does the egg trick, he mentions the possibility of transferring his power to someone else, with their consent
He supposes he could put some of his atomic material or whatever into some organic material which someone could eat and gain some of his powers.
Angela asks about putting it in an egg. He says it is theoretically possible
When the Seventh Kav show up, he tells Angela he sent the kids to the theater with Will.
Maybe Will has been eating Dr Manhattan laced eggs and has been gaining more and more power over the past few days? Kind of like a Fountain of Youth
I believe the timeline of the show has only been a few days at most
Then there is the whole thing about Dr Manhattan making a show of walking on water and telling Angela she must remember that for later
Whoever Dr Manhattan gave his powers to apparently is going to have to walk on water? Maybe prompted by Angela telling them they can do so?
